Valentine's Day


Another holiday with sick kids. I had plans of making a really nice meal and fancy things up for one night, but with sick kids a fancy meal is just a big waste of time and energy.

We did have a lovely dinner of a delicious homemade chicken noodle soup. It really was one the best I have made, at least lately (my cooking skills are very minimal when I am pregnant). We had rolls for us 'healthy' folk and crackers for the kids. We made a fancy drink with some sprite and powerade from food storage, it was really tasty. Leah and I decorated the table with the few things we had handy.

Dave had been out of town and we were just glad he was home!

Dinner is my favorite time of the day. I love to just sit and chit chat with the kids about the day and to let the kids tell Dave all the fun or not so fun things that have gone on.

Valentine's was celebrated with LOVE surrounding the dinner table and it was wonderful!

I feel my Heavenly Father's love when I look around and see what I have. I am always amazed at how I/we have been blessed with the children that bright our home. I also feel a tremendous amount of love for my husband. He is a wonderful partner and a great team mate for me.

ps. finally got that lovely picture at the top of this post from Dave :) Love you!!!
